Zack, Slater, Kelly, Jessie, Screech, Lisa, Mr. Belding and even Tori are back in action, with a song to sing. Bayside! The UnMusical!, the "hilarious, unofficial and unauthorized musical parody" of the iconic 1990s high school sitcom "Saved by the Bell," is playing a limited engagement at Off-Broadway's Kraine Theater on East 4th Street.
"It’s just a typical day for the students of Bayside High until they find out their favorite (and only) hangout spot, The Max, is closing unless they can raise an unreasonable amount of money ($500)," according to production notes. "How will Zack and the gang raise enough money to save The Max? Will Zack and Kelly breakup forever?! Is Slater going to quit wrestling?! Who will develop an incurable caffeine addiction?! Will Screech die?! Find out this and much, much, much more at Bayside! The UnMusical!"
